Abstract
Cultures of the promyelocytic cell line HL 60 were synchronized with thymidine. A concentration of 0.05 mM thymidine and an exposure time of 24 hr was found optimal for blocking about 90% of the cells in S phase. Following release from the thymidine block the cell cultures were followed intermittently over 40 hr for fluctuation in cell numbers, labelling with radioactive thymidine and nuclear DNA distributions. Mathematical evaluation of the results revealed a cycling time of 18.6 hr and a duration of specific cell phases of 8.6 hr, 7.1 hr and 2.9 hr for G1, S and G2 + M, respectively. The doubling time was 26 hr and the growth fraction was estimated as 1.Entities:
